Are you truly suggesting that the 1% of people who theoretically are holding the majority of the wealth are actively perusing a conscious plan to exterminate the people who are less than them financially?

Genocide is a very strong term and one that is crisscrossed with a lot of painful history. Please help me understand what you mean.

Yes, in Europe through the EU they are forcing governments in order to get help to pass devastating life altering austerity measures. Who is effected first when this stuff goes down. The poor. Especially children. Yes, they have crippled the world's economy for their own gain.

In Greece for example society as the Greeks have experienced it will die. Social genocide.

Sorry this is so short but I have to run.
